Creamer Pea and Corn Salad with Buttermilk Vinaigrette

July 30, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

People often ask me what my favorite food is, and I find it an incredibly difficult question to answer. There are so many, and it changes as I experience new things. But I will say that field peas are at the top of the list. In the summer, I buy all the little baggies at the farmers market and freeze some for year-round enjoyment but eat most of them right away. My Sunday night … [Read more...] about Creamer Pea and Corn Salad with Buttermilk Vinaigrette

Whipped Feta with Za’atar Roasted Tomatoes

July 23, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Summer is all about casual entertaining for me. It’s too hot and too busy to be hosting elaborate dinner parties. I love drop-in, come as you are drinks or cook-outs, or the cold supper. I got pretty good at these during the pandemic for patio “parties”. I tried to bring back the English phrase “cold collation” but alas.

The prep is simple and the presentation is … [Read more...] about Fresh Peach and Ginger Ice Box Cake

Smoky Bacon Corn Casserole

I love, love, love a creamy summer corn casserole (or corn pudding). I mean, I pretty much love all things corn from Caramelized Corn Pudding to zesty Chimichurri Corn Casserole or sophisticated Parmigiano Basil Baked Corn, I am shucking those ears all summer long. Twist up the ingredients on a classic recipe and you end up with a whole new experience. … [Read more...] about Smoky Bacon Corn Casserole

Zucchini Scarpaccia

June 18, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I love this simple summer Italian snack. Somewhere between a flat bread and a Dutch baby, it is  a simple batter packed with gorgeous summer zucchini and a dash of fresh oregano. It really highlights the beautiful taste of straight-from-the garden zucchini. Scarpaccia is a Tuscan dish and the name comes from the word scarpa, which means shoe – because this is flat and … [Read more...] about Zucchini Scarpaccia

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
